Detailed Placement Description

If we are to address climate change, the destruction of nature by humanity over thousands of years of civilization, we will need to quickly embark on a journey to raise human consciousness and rediscover our interconnectedness and interdependence and co-evolution with all of nature and do the work, in humility, to repair the damage our species has done to the planet and learn to live in a way that we are of service to all of nature.
